Really? This is why we have all these glued paper covers and everything is wrapped in plastic. I don't like having to cut my way through all that mess. I don't like cotton balls and those moisture absorbing packets deserve a special place in hell.

I cut my own own hair. Why not? I'm practically bald and I look like a chia pet every 2nd or 3rd day if I don't cut it. I can't go to a barber every three days I'm sure I save money but have to take meticulous care of the "appliances." They aren't inexpensive. Maintaining them isn't free, either. Unfortunately, they run on lithium batteries, and this makes them disposable after about a year. The head to the head shaver is expensive and might last six months. Last time I had to take care of this the head shaver was going to die and the low end replacement was only 2x the price of the head, so I just bought a new head shaver. Shaving is easily my most expensive grooming expense.

I was reading something about it being the 20th anniversary of Pride & Prejudice film version that has the soundtrack performed by pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, so I went looking for it. I had forgotten how beautiful the opening piece is. I'm going to track down the score and add it to my list of pieces to play Link to video

He believed the lie that inflicting damage was related to saving money or decreasing the deficit. Another tool used and discarded.

I can't imagine why an imaginary currency needs so much energy.

I'll bet Mrs @Big_Al can't pry him loose from the new piano.

@wtg said Apparently she recognized me from my haircut. Must be distinctive as I've had any number of people ID me from it. ...Purple punk mohican?
